Doing business in Ireland

Ireland offers investors a stable, profitable, English speaking base to service the European market and beyond. This is why more than 1,200 overseas companies have made Ireland their location of choice.

Welcome to NIBA's homepage!

Norwegian Irish Business Association - NIBA and our Irish counterpart Norwegian Irish Business Council - NIBC are the premier contact points for companies doing business between the two countries, whether as subsidiaries of Irish/Norwegian parents or as importers, exporters or providers of services. We organise seminars and meetings throughout the year and are a very useful meeting point and source of information.

MESSAGE FROM OUR PATRON

I am delighted that you have taken the time to visit the NIBA website.

As Ireland’s Ambassador to Norway, it is a pleasure to see such a vibrant relationship between our two countries. The Irish and Norwegian governments and people work together in areas ranging from shared international cooperation to more direct links in fields such as education and culture and, of course, the all-important individual personal and professional ties. We also have a flourishing economic relationship which has seen trade, investment, and tourism reach new levels. In 2013, trade between the two countries was valued at €2.5bn while over 55,000 Norwegians visited Ireland.

For more than 20 years, NIBA has provided a platform for promoting greater engagement between the Norwegian and Irish business communities. I look forward to working with NIBA during my time here on further strengthening existing ties and building new mutually beneficial relationships that will lead to even stronger Ireland-Norway connections in the coming years.
